First Editions of all nine "Extra Christmas Numbers" of this periodical that Charles Dickens founded and edited for its nine years of existence. Previously he had likewise founded Household Words which likewise lasted nine years -- and which has nine Extra Christmas Numbers as well. In addition to editing these tales Dickens also wrote a portion of them -- specifically per Eckel: Christmas 1859: THE HAUNTED HOUSE. Dickens wrote "The Mortals in the House" "The Ghost in Master B's Room" and "The Ghost in the Corner Room" as well as most of the other opening paragraphs. Christmas 1860: A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA. Dickens wrote Chapters I II and V plus passages in the others; the rest is by Wilkie Collins. Christmas 1861: TOM TIDDLER'S GROUND. Dickens wrote Chapters I VI and VII. Christmas 1862: SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE. Dickens wrote "His Leaving It Til Called For" "His Boots" "His Brown-Paper Parcel" "His Wonderful End" plus part of "His Umbrella." Christmas 1863: MRS.

Dickens wrote the Overture Act III plus parts of Act I and Act IV; Wilkie Collins wrote the rest. As for condition all nine issues are near-fine the self-wrappers of the first four have some minor expert restoration; the latter five's blue wrappers are just about fine except for some small ink-drops on the fifth; the leaves of the 1864 and 1867 issues are unopened. It is very tough to assemble all nine of these in this condition. Podeschi Yale E11 E13-E20. Housed in a handsome though lightly scuffed full-morocco case with inner chemise. unknown books

The last one includes the loosely-inserted ad leaf for the Grand Christmas Number of the periodical "London Society." It is very tough to assemble all nine of these in this condition.

A CURIOUS DANCE ROUND A CURIOUS TREE

1860144211860. London: St. Luke's Hospital 1860. Original pale pink wrappers. First Edition second and usual issue -- with the final paragraph in bold not like the rest of the text with the wrapper pink not mauve -- though all are today faded with the front cover title followed by a comma not by a period and with the front cover border decorative only at the corners not all 'round. Dickens describes the wretched conditions inside St. Luke's Hospital "established in 1751 for the treatment and care of lunatics" and in particular the "very sad and touching spectacle" of the annual Christmas Ball there dancing around the Christmas tree. He actually wrote the original piece in 1852 at which time it appeared in his Household Words Dickens's authorship was questioned until 1913 when the original manuscript -- in his hand -- turned up. It is here published in book form for the first time eight years later when Dickens gave permission for the hospital to use it as a fundraising appeal. The hospital added two items to update the piece: an article about the 1860 Ball from the "Times" plus a brief article "Contrast between 1852 and 1860" in which the hospital asserts that many of the deficiencies cited by Dickens have since been addressed. The results of the initial mailing were not good -- which is why for this second issue the final paragraph the actual appeal was highlighted in bold. This is a fine copy of this very fragile item with scarcely any wear soil or foxing; as usual the pink wrappers have faded. Tipped to a corner of the inside front wrapper is an old but hyperbolic catalogue description. As with almost all copies there is a vertical crease because the booklet was folded vertically when the fundraising appeal was mailed out in narrow envelopes. Uncommon in this condition. Podeschi Yale B216 second copy; Carr U of Texas B465; Eckel pp 188-191. Housed in a cloth clamshell case lined with felt. hardcover books

A CURIOUS DANCE ROUND A CURIOUS TREE

1860144201860. the very scarce first issue London: St. Luke's Hospital 1860. Original pale mauve wrappers. First Edition first issue -- with the final paragraph in the same type as the rest of the text and not in bold type with the wrapper mauve and not pink -- though all are today faded with the front cover title followed by a period not by a comma and with the front cover border decorative on all sides not just at the corners. Dickens describes the wretched conditions inside St. Luke's Hospital "established in 1751 for the treatment and care of lunatics" and in particular the "very sad and touching spectacle" of the annual Christmas Ball there dancing around the Christmas tree. He actually wrote the original piece in 1852 at which time it appeared in his Household Words Dickens's authorship was questioned until 1913 when the original manuscript -- in his hand -- turned up.

The results of this initial mailing were not good -- which is why for the second issue the final paragraph the actual appeal was highlighted in bold. This is a near-fine copy of this very fragile item with scarcely any wear but with a little faint soil and foxing; as usual the mauve wrappers have faded. As with almost all copies there is a vertical crease: the booklet was folded vertically when the fundraising appeal was mailed out in narrow envelopes. Quite an uncommon Dickens first edition -- much scarcer than the second issue. Podeschi Yale B216 first copy; Carr U of Texas B465; Eckel pp 188-191 "the second issue in pink wrappers is much more common than the first one in purple". Housed in a morocco-backed clamshell case. unknown books
